Take care. Working with these objects and effects is inherently dangerous; anyone who attempts them does so at their own risk. Anybody under 18 is advised to undertake them only with a parent's permission and supervision.

Here is a cute little pocket trick for special occasions.

Effect

A die with the usual spots from one to six is removed from a small cloth bag by a spectator who thinks of a number and returns the die to the bag.

Performer names the thought of number.

How it is done

The method, 1 drawing and all it needs, inside the library.

Check back on December 1, 2026 to join the waiting list.
